Dear nairalander, I would like to know the cost of setting up a poultry farm. I already have battery cage n space . All I need is the estimated cost of purchasing and feeding about 500birds to laying point n probably it's returns in terms of profit so as to c if it's a viable business to embark on thanks Please mod move it to the front page cos of its urgency

Am also interested in poultry farming... I will like to know how much my 500k ➕ could cover... almighty lalasticlala, your attention is needed.

it depends on the type of birds you're talking about and their age. A day old cockerel is N30, day old broiler is N220 for example, while a 4weeker is N600 in my area

Estimate of 100k to feed 50 birds to maturity.

Here in ph a bag of feeds is 4100.

The day old chicks are 250 for layers and 280 for broilers per piece. I just started with 100 birds.

Interested too

Can you withstand the smell of these livestock during breakfast and lunch?
Can you clean their space?
Can you fumigate the entire area?
Can you bury the dead chicks?

I am waiting to read about the cost ,because I want invest in such business in Nigeria.
please,Nairalanders,be honest in your contributions.

U can't train 500 laying birds with 500k. So go and source for more money. Things re very expensive especially feeding and medications. Thanks

we run a poultry at home it's not easy I gotta say but when the dividends start pouring in you'd love it

if you haven't bought the chics yet ignore my previous comment on 200k

you would spend much more than that

Is 500k enough to start from scratch (with the exception of land).

And do you use cages in your system?
